 Book C lub on Zoom: No Visible Bruises

 

We would like to return to the postponed discussion of No Visible Bruises: What We Don't Know about Domestic Violence Can Kill Us by Rachael Louise Snyder. This extraordinary book captivates and raises awareness about a global health problem of epidemic proportion.

In the excellent review of No Visible Bruises in The New York Times, Parul Sehgal writes: “In America alone, more than half of all murdered women are killed by a current or former part ner. Domestic violence cuts across lines of class, race and religion… Betwe en 2000 and 2006, 3,200 American soldiers were killed in combat. During tha t same period, in the United States, more than three times as many women di ed at the hands of their husbands and boyfriends.

This book, winner of the prestigious J. Anthony Lukas Work-In-Prog ress Award, takes apart the myths that surround domestic violence, many of which Snyder herself once believed … Books that want to raise an alarm don' t always aspire to literature, but to be effective—to persuade—they must be literary; they must be obsessed with matters of rhythm, form and language… [Snyder] brings all of fiction's techniques to this new book—canny pacing, an eye for the animating detail and bursts of quick, confident characteriza tion. There is a fullness and density to every one of her subjects…This is a writer using every tool at her disposal to make this story come alive, to make it matter.” .
